By The Management of Ikorodu General Hospital has debunked reports making rounds on social media that some of its staff members have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Management stated that such false information is injurious to the public image of the hospital, thereby demanding an apology.
“This misinformation may actually lead to the populace who need health care services in Ikorodu and its environs avoiding the hospital because of fear of contacting the pandemic from staff.
“This in turn may have far reaching consequences such as late presentation of clients with increasing morbidity and mortality.
“It is important that this false information be retracted immediately in order to save live.” The management said.
Blackboxnigeria reported earlier that, a patient who was admitted into the Ikorodu General Hospital died of unclear symptoms, the deceased was however examined by officials from the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, and was confirmed positive for novel COVID-19
